Disrupting Postsecondary Prose

Abstract: Ladson-Billings and Tate ushered critical race theory (CRT) into education and challenged racial inequities in schooling contexts. In this article, I consider the role CRT can play in disrupting postsecondary prose, or the ordinary, predictable, and taken for granted ways in which the academy has functioned for centuries as a bastion of racism and White supremacy. I disrupt racelessness in education, but focus primarily on postsecondary contexts related to history, access, curriculum, policy, and research. The… Show more

“…Further research is also needed on the compound effects of race and gender due to the historic underrepresentation of women in leadership positions. The study also validates the need to look at both the implicit and explicit enforcement of policies regarding diversity in the workplace to address subtle dimensions racism and bias which were highlighted in Patton's (2016) work on CRT-HE.…”

“…In addition, for those who do not fit the traditional perception of predominately White faculty and administration, the challenge of attaining promotion and tenure remains complex. Improving America's higher education system requires examination of the enduring connections between race and higher education which have prevented full racial and ethnic representation in the academy (Patton, 2016).…”

“…At the postsecondary level, racial inequities are observed in several ways, including through institutional data that reveals unequal access and outcomes of racially and ethnically minoritized groups in hierarchically stratified and segregated educational systems (Carnevale & Strohl, 2013;Posselt et al, 2012). 3 Stratification is evident in disparate rates of student access and departure from different types of institutions (e.g., research universities, community colleges, for-profit colleges; Harper, Patton, & Wooden, 2009;Hurtado, Alvarez, Guillermo-Wann, Cuellar, & Arellano, 2012;Illoh, 2017;Sáenz & Swan, 2018), fields of study (e.g., STEM, social sciences, applied fields such as business; L. D. Patton, 2016;Posselt & Grodsky, 2017), high status or well-resourced programs (e.g., honors colleges, undergraduate research, study abroad; Museus et al, 2015), and graduate study (Garces, 2013;Posselt & Grodsky, 2017). As we show in our results, the practitioners in this case study moved through two cycles of inquiry and instituted changes in multiple institutional policies and functions of the university, including student recruitment, admissions, advising, curriculum policies, governance, and institutional assessment.…”

“…Centering trans* epistemologies means honoring the "both/and" world we inhabit: we are both subjects and objects and as such, we bring (as do other trans* individuals) key knowledges and experiences. Furthermore, grounding our work as HE-SA-based faculty in trans* epistemologies has the potential to undo more than just gender normative thinking, but multiple repressive illogics in our field (e.g., anti-Black racism; Patton, 2016). For as Enke (2012) surmised, "Gender may trouble every imaginable social relation" (p. 1).…”
